Agronutris becomes a B Corp company

February 2, 2024 - Agronutris, a French biotech company specialised in rearing and transforming black soldier flies into proteins for food, has just obtained B Corp certification, an international certification recognising the responsible approach taken by Agronutris.

Agronutris joins the exclusive community of more than 8000 companies worldwide that are B Corp certified. This is the result of a several month long in-depth audit carried out by the independent international NGO B Lab.

"We are delighted to welcome Agronutris to the B Corp movement. The development of a fairer and more sustainable food supply chain is a key issue for the future of the sector. Agronutris' experience of shared governance is a model that we find particularly interesting: transparency, collaboration and interdependence are key values of the B Corp movement. By choosing to put people at the heart of its business, Agronutris is shaking things up." says Augustin Boulot, CEO of B Lab France.

This certification confirms Agronutris' strong commitment to the five 'pillars' of environment, customers, employees, governance and communities; with a special mention for governance and the development of its employees.

A symbiotic approach to sustainability

"At Agronutris, we are trying to create a collective adventure that offers an environmentally virtuous circular economy solution. Together, we are building a collaborative culture based on shared governance and freedom and aim to create relationships of transparency and trust with stakeholders. We believe that these are the ingredients for sustainable performance," explains Mehdi Berrada, co-founder of Agronutris.

Since its creation, Agronutris has made sustainability the backbone of its entire venture. This holistic approach is based on a vision, a mission and values shared by all its employees. The 'how is just as important as the 'why'. People are at the heart of the company's project, with particular highlights being paid to the development of its employees and the quality of its relationships with its partners.

By making the bold choice of 'shared governance', Agronutris is also at the forefront of innovation in management. Its organisational methods have been completely rethought to make them democratic spaces of freedom, co-construction and trust. At the same time, the hierarchical and functional organisational systems have been replaced by a neural organisation in project mode, based on strategic goals that encourage individual and collective commitment.
